redi: (1) oshani only has such a high spam score because we are obliged to mark new members as spammers "on spec", just because the threshold is so high. There's nothing to feel guilty about, that's just how the system is rigged. (2) It's no great chore for a new member who has spent no time entering personal data to re-join, and then maybe do things a little differently to avoid being kicked off again. By the way, I hate the "blog" name too, but I don't like "diary" any better; I don't want to know what anybody had for breakfast. It may be asking too much of the name to improve matters, but I'd go for "log". We don't need to remind ourselves that we're on the web.
